Four Favorite Local Hot Spots for Cool Treats

Sure it’s winter time, but who says you can’t still enjoy a good ice cream? Here are four favorite options for the bold and brave:

1. Caliyogurt
ADAMS MORGAN – 2473 18th St NW, Washington, DC 20009, (202) 234-0330
This is the place for you if you enjoy your frozen yogurt cool, tart, and fruity. The shop is right around the corner from Adam’s Inn and features a new flavor each week. My favorite is blueberry frozen yogurt topped with fresh blueberries.

3. Dickey’s Frozen Custard
FARRAGUT SQUARE – 1710 I St NW, Washington, DC 20006, (202) 861-0669
If you want to escape winter’s drudgery, if only for a few minutes, you can escape downtown to Dickey’s. Their smooth and creamy vanilla frozen custard is an old-time favorite.

4. Baskin Robbins
WOODLEY PARK – 2604 Connecticut Ave NW, Washington, DC 20008
Kids young and old will want to stop at Baskin Robbins after a long day at the National Zoo. Or, make a quick stop here before heading to the annual Zoolights ! With 31 flavors of ice cream, there is something for everyone. My favorite is rocky road.
